Probably the most interesting chapter thus far in terms of
narrative/character goes. 
Sure glad we did manage to cut our selves down from that bloody root and
discuss this one, but we didn't discuss, other than the extra/inter
textual stuff, the chapters just prior to these much. And, while we say
postmodern no beginning middle or end, there is a chrological reference
text here in the field book and the novel circles back into previous
ones, i.e., Austra here, so revisiting is more advantagious than
skipping. 


Does remind me of the Chapter in GR wherein Katja finds the film with
the plot/Pointsman/Midget Sheriff. It serves Ives right, the way he was
talking about Dixon and the Milk Maids.
